MC-aware mode was recently enabled by mlxsw on Spectrum switches in commit7b81953066("mlxsw: spectrum: Configure MC-aware mode on mlxsw ports"). Unfortunately, testing has shown that the fix is incomplete and in the presented form actually makes the problem even worse, because any amount of MC traffic causes UC disruption. The reason for this is that currently, mlxsw configures the MC-specific TCs (8..15) to map to pool 0. It also configures a maximum buffer size of 0, but for MC traffic that maximum is disregarded and not part of the quota. Therefore MC traffic is always admitted to the egress buffer. Fix the configuration by directing the MC TCs into pool 15, which is dedicated to MC traffic and recognized as such by the silicon.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
